More about shipping to Australia

The demand is so high that many fans are trying to source it directly from US retailers. However, this is where things get tricky. Unlike a t-shirt or a pair of shoes, perfume is a specialty item when it comes to international shipping. If you do not follow the right steps, you might find your order cancelled or, worse, destroyed by customs before it ever reaches your door in Sydney or Melbourne.

Missing out on your package due to flammable goods rules

Most people do not realize that perfumes like the Cheirosa '48 contain a high percentage of alcohol. This classifies them as "Dangerous Goods" or "Flammable Liquids" in the logistics world. If you try to send this via a standard courier that is not equipped to handle hazardous materials, your package will likely be flagged and seized.

To avoid this, you need a freight forwarder that specifically offers services for sensitive items. By using a professional parcel forwarding service, you can ensure that your perfume is packed and labeled according to international safety standards, keeping your money safe and your scent on its way to you.

Estimated Shipping Specs for Australia

To help you prepare your budget, here are the physical estimates for a typical bottle of Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '48 (240ml size).

Before you check out, it is always a smart move to use a shipping calculator to see the total landed cost including any potential dangerous goods surcharges.

Ordering from US stores like a local

The best way to get your hands on the '48 mist is to shop us store sites like Sephora US, Kohl’s, or the official Sol de Janeiro website. These stores often have exclusive bundles and gifts with purchase that we simply don't get in Australia.

The problem is that many of these stores do not ship beauty products directly to Australian addresses because of the aforementioned shipping restrictions. By signing up for comGateway, you get a tax-free us address. This allows you to checkout on US websites just like a resident, avoiding US sales tax and getting access to the full 2026 product lineup.

Using a reliable freight forwarder

Once your Cheirosa '48 arrives at your US address, your freight forwarder will notify you. This is the stage where you want to be careful. Because you are shipping a perfume, you must ensure you select an international shipping service that supports flammable liquids.

If you are buying multiple items—perhaps some new skincare or makeup from other US brands—you can choose to forward packages together in one box. This consolidation can significantly estimate shipping cost downward, making the per-item delivery fee much more affordable than sending everything separately.

Handling Australian import duties and GST

Australia has specific rules regarding the Goods and Services Tax (GST). For most low-value imports (under $1,000 AUD), GST is usually collected at the point of sale or handled by the forwarder. However, it is vital to stay updated on import duties to ensure you aren't hit with a surprise bill from Border Force.

Check our guide on customs tax if you are planning a large haul. Generally, for a few bottles of perfume, you won't be paying heavy import tax, but it is always better to be informed than to have your package held at the airport.
